Prayer Circles

Torture happens in more than 150 countries, from Angola, China, USA, to Zimbabwe. The purpose of torture is to inflict as much pain as possible without letting the victim die. The victims can be anybody--babies, children, women, and men.

Dear Friends,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Enjoy the festivities. However, I'd like to remind you to share 5 minutes of your life to remember millions of torture victims. While we enjoy the warmth of Christmas with our friends and families, these torture victims are gang-raped, electrified, beaten, suffocated into water infested with human excrement, and forced to witness the torture of loved ones.

Please PRAY and TAKE ACTION to help our forgotten brothers and sisters. You can support the petitions at www.stoptorture.org. Be a member of Amnesty International. Or donate to www.irct.org. With a few mouse clicks, you can save a life.

I know that each one of you has a strong sense of right and wrong. Even though this injustice is miles away from your home and doesn't affect you, I am sure it makes you feel angry and frustrated. Your prayer and action will be able to help you express your moral indignation and do something about it.

OH HEAVENLY FATHER I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PAIN AND FEAR AND DEVASTATION THAT THESE POOR SOULS FACE EACH MOMENT OF EACH DAY...THOUGHTS OF SECRETLY WELCOMING DEATH...MAYBE EVEN PRAYING FOR IT...OH FATHER HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS, INCLUDING THE ONES WHO ARE INFLICTING THESE TORTURES...LEAD THEM TO THE CROSS...LET THEM KNOW THAT,YES, THERE IS EVEN FORGIVENESS FOR THEM... LEAD THEM TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE IN YOU AMEN
